I finished A Storm of Swords, and it'ssogood. I can't wait for seasons 2 and 3 of Game of Thrones.

I hope A Feast for Crows is just as good. I started it and am not more than 100 pages in, but so far the new POV characters aren't all that interesting - I hope that changes, but throughout the other books I never really thought "What's happening in Dorne? I bet the Iron Islands are full of exciting things", so we'll see.

The way its written you could probably just read the chapters of characters your really into,read the ones you dont like afterwards and not miss out on a lot

Personally if I'm reading something thats boring me to death to the point that it feels like a chore I skim through it because things that dont interest are forgotten the moment you turn the page seemkind of pointless,especially given the synopsis in detail can be read on wiki

I'm incredibly hooked to comic books right now. Many of the storylines are raging hot, especially X Men and Captain America. Did you know that Betty Ross's father, the asshole military guy who tries to kill Bruce Banner in every movie has now transformed himself into the Red Hulk? So now he doesn't wants to transform back because he doesn't want anybody to find out he's also a Hulk. Meanwhile he's being jerked around by the army too. Talk about poetic justice. The guy won't even sleep in order to avoid transforming back. I think it's awesome.

i looked into the Robert Jordan series, and damn that's 12 books, which i am willing to buy but i can't find the first one. A friend of mine recommended Hunger Games but YA is not my thing, should i read it?

You mean - couldnt fine the first volume ONLINE?

I wouldnt start reading WOT from scratch until the last 2 parts of the final book are published2 to 3 years at the current rate

The YA tale sounds OK but like everything it all comes down to wether you like the authors writing style

Half way through Sworn Sword by George Martin which is connected to Game of Thrones worldThe second novella was published 2003 in the Legends II anthology, also edited by Robert Silverberg

The Tales of Dunk and Egg is a series of novellas written by George R. R. Martin, set in the world of his Song of Ice and Fire cycle. Three novellas have appeared so far: The Hedge Knight, The Sworn Sword and The Mystery Knight (published in the Warriors anthology (March 2010). The stories relate the adventures of Dunk (eponymously called Ser Duncan the Tall, a legendary member of the Kingsguard before the time of A Song of Ice and Fire) and Egg, beginning with their meeting eighty-nine years before the events of the main cycle and intended to cover a long period of time. Martin has indicated there will be several more stories, as many as nine, covering much of the life stories of the two protagonists.

The Mystery Knight is a novella published in 2010 as part of the Warriors anthology, edited by George R. R. Martin and Gardner Dozois. It is the third in the series of "Dunk and Egg" stories. Previous stories are The Hedge Knight and The Sworn Sword.

George R.R. Martin has confirmed in an interview with the Chapters Indigo blog that he has signed a deal with Bantam to release a collection of his Dunk and Egg stories. This first volume will collect the first four short stories into one book, but there will be more.

The collection will include The Hedge Knight, The Sworn Sword, The Mystery Knight and the forthcoming fourth story, The She-Wolves (a description of the story, maybe not even a working title at this stage). The fourth story will be published in Dangerous Women, a new anthology due in 2012, so I assume the Dunk and Egg collection will follow in 2013.

The stories follow the adventure of Ser Duncan the Tall, a hedge knight of rude birth, and his very unusual squire, Egg, as they have adventures across the Seven Kingdoms approximately ninety years before the events of A Game of Thrones. Along the way they become embroiled in the doings of kings, princes and rebels, and inadvertently have a major impact on the history of Westeros.

I've been selling those books like crazy at work, I tell customers they're really good so if you guys are waffling on about them just to mess with me I'm in trouble.

I've been reading Ten Little Indians by Sherman Alexie, it's my first time reading his work and I'm in love. I want to describe it as powerful despite that word being so over used and cheesy. I want to find him and give him a high five.
